Arnot-Roberts Gamay
Arnot-Roberts Wines is a joint project of schoolhood friends, Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts. Since founding their winery in 2001, the duo has been one of the most progressive and revolutionary producers on the California landscape. Together with a small group of fellow trailblazers, they have led the way to help redefine the paradigm of what California wine can be and taste like.
Their Gamay is one we'd happily put in a blind tasting against top-flight Cru Beaujolais'. It's so beautiful on the nose and the palate. Lifted aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum. violet, rose petal, and spice make this hugely appealing, and it just gets better on the smooth and energetic palate.
